Willem II VS Roda JC Kerk Match Prediction

Willem II have seen over 2.5 goals in eight of their last matches against Roda in all competitions, so plenty of entertainment should be on show in this match. Willem II have also pulled off four wins in a row in this fixture, which will be a further confidence boost to the team after their surprise win at Ajax last time out in the Eredivisie. Last season, Willem II did the double over Roda with 3-2 wins both home and away.

Willem II v Roda JC: Prediction

Goals look certain here, with Willem II and Roda JC both having failed to keep a clean sheet in their first three games of the new Eredivisie campaign. Willem II had one of the biggest wins in their recent history at Ajax last weekend and need to build on that positive momentum, but they have lost their last six home matches, so it is hard to tip them for a victory. Roda have not won yet this season, however, so perhaps a draw will be the most likely result in this Dutch league game.

Willem II v Roda JC: Betting Tips

The bookmakers offer Willem II at 19/20 for this match, with the hosts made the favourites despite failing to win in six in front of their own fans, with that win at Ajax certainly lowering their odds. Roda have been fairly mediocre so far this season and there is little value in backing them to win here at a price of 29/10, but the draw might be more interesting at 11/4 here.

Goals are certainly on the cards in this Eredivisie match, so both teams to score is recommended at odds of 4/5, while over 2.5 goals also looks likely to come in at a price of 11/12. Willem II beat Roda JC 3-2 home and away last season and a third 3-2 win in a row for Willem II in this fixture may be worth a very small bet at odds of 27/1 on the correct scores market for this match.

Willem II pulled off what is likely to be one of the biggest shock results of the league season by winning 2-1 at Ajax last weekend and it seems inconceivable there would be any changes from the team that beat last season's runners-up. Willem II had fallen behind to a very early goal from Davy Klaassen, but goals from Erik Falkenburg and Fran Sol gave them a famous victory.

Willem II likely XI:

Roda JC had drawn their opening two matches of the new Eredivisie campaign, but a 1-0 loss at home to Vitesse last time out could mean that it is time for changes for coach Yannis Anastasiou. Seeking their first win of the league season, Danny De Silva is among those who could be promoted from the bench into the starting line-up for this Eredivisie match. Jens van Son and Dani Schahin are injured, along with Ali Yasar, but Frederic Ananou is available after serving a ban.

Roda JC Kerk likely XI:

Willem II\'s win over Ajax shocked the Dutch football world last weekend, but the challenge is now maintaining those performance levels against lesser opposition. Roda JC are without a win in their opening three games of the campaign but could be awkward opponents. A lot of goals are expected, but a draw looks most likely.

Roda JC have lost their last four matches to Willem II in the Eredivisie.
